Ngunit ilang linggo bago ang kanyang kaarawan ay pumanaw si Liezl noong March 14 dahil sa breast at lung cancer.

This was Mama's birthday last year. She would've been 48 today ☺ Happy birthday, Mama ❤ I'm sure you're having an amazing birthday in heaven. I miss you so so much. Still so weird not having you around. Always watch over and protect us. I love you so much ❤

A FITTING TRIBUTE. Bago sumakabilang-buhay si Liezl ay naging aktibong board member siya ng Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB).

At bilang pagbibigay-pugay sa kanilang yumaong kasamahan, ipinangalan ng MTRCB ang isa nilang multi-purpose hall kay Liezl.

Noong March 25, dalawang araw bago ang ika-48 kaarawan ng yumaong aktres, ay pinasinayaan ang Liezl S. Martinez Hall sa pangunguna ni MTRCB Chairman Toto Villareal.

Dinaluhan ito ng buong pamilya ni Liezl—ang kanyang mister na si Albert at mga anak na sina Alyanna, Alfonso, at Alyssa. Dumating din ang ama niyang si Romeo Vasquez.

At MTRCB for Liezl's Dedication, Tribute and Birthday in Heaven Celebration. Their new main hall is now called the Liezl S. Martinez Hall #MyLiezl

Hindi rin maipagkakaila ang pagiging proud ng mga anak ni Liezl sa kanya, base na rin sa Instagram posts nila.

Everyone was teary eyed when they unveiled the name plate of the hall❤️

Thanks so much to Chairman Villareal and the whole MTRCB family for showing us a side of Mama we didn't really see. From all the funny anecdotes, to Mama's projects to improve the facilities, arguments on who is truly her BFF at work and ofcourse her passion to serve regardless of whatever pains she was going through 💜💓💗💘💝💞💟 And yes, I smile/laugh like Papa, both our eyes disappear. 😢😢😢
